We also have a round stair post. It does secure on with the tension but if anyone runs into it or pushes too hard, it will slide off. It's the best one we found for our situation.

I have mine on a tubular gate. Actually, I think it was easier to use because I just got some "U" bolts from the hardware store that had the appropriate spread to meet the lock. When I installed it, it worked out great. It locks tight and stays locked.

Buy wood shims. Thats what i did and it made it nice and tight fit. A 4x4 post will not be a tight fit on its own. Add some shims and it'll be perfect. Mine is rock solid after i sunk it in Quikcrete

There probably isn't any baby gate that is pressure mounted that will withstand a child's pushing at it with their legs. Your only alternative is to screw mount the gate.

This is a pressure gate. There are rubber stopper things on each side of the gate and you use a small tool (included) to tighten it on each end. They are EXTREMELY sturdy. I have three of them - and one is at the top of my stairway so it is used multiple times every day and has never moved or loosened. Couldn't get a better gate. They are pretty attractive too. P.S. I'm not sure why other people are answering this question. I think you are mistaken. They do NOT nail or screw or mount into the walls. Perhaps you are looking at the wrong gate.

My suggestion is to take a stiff piece of cardboard and cut it to fit to fill in the gap. That way someone can hold the cardboard in place while you place the gate against it so the fit is tight.

This is a wall mount gate, so it is possible to use it at the top or bottom of stairs, provided you have a wall and/or sturdy post to mount it to. I would not recommend trying to attach it to a carved or decorative bannister post, however.

We used a home made solution of bolting two boards around our banister and then securing the gate to that. We've had it up for several years and it's been rock solid. I think the company makes a kit you can use to do something similar:

My gate is attached to a small metal railing. It works great! However I attached mine with zip ties. May not be the most attractive attachment but it works. I did not need to drill any holes in the wall or railing.

You can raise the post on the side with lever to insert on the right side to hold it in place, then I press it in to snap. We keep ours outside, and if you raise the post higher it might need to be weighed down on the base with sand inside the base, or just put a heavy brick on the base, to keep it from tipping over, good luck.

I ended up using a gate I bought from home depot. I just used some screws to install it and was cheap and easy.

I would not recommend this gate given this type of behaviour. The hinges are secured to the post or wall with two screws approximately 2 inches in length. The stress of the weight of even a small child would soon tear them loose.

I would say yes , more than likely you can install the Magna Latch with a round post. The latch itself mounts to the gate. It's the catch that gets mounted to the post. To do that you may need some ingenuity. I would contact Stanley to see what they say. Maybe they have a special catch or adapter for a round post. Good luck with it!

There's 2 circular plastic pieces with the inside shaped like a square which slides over the post, u slip on 1 at the bottom and one towards the top, and then put the mailbox over the post and then u can use screws (included) to bolt it onto the posts. it is very secure and easy. Sorry about my description I'm not familiar with parts etc. But u can have it up in 2 minutes if u already have a post: )

You need to shim it. I put some shims at the top and bottom of the wood post and I fits nice and tight.

This gate is a really good option on the stairs and I do recommend it because it's out of the way and doesn't pose a trip hazard when you don't need it. However, as is, you do need to screw the 2 lock clips on the opposite side of the gate into something. Assuming you can't screw them into your metal spindle, you could use a kit to connect the gate to the rod. I used the "No Hole Stairway Baby Gate Mounting Kit By Safety Innovations" that I found here on Amazon. It provides a box type clamp around your spindle and a surface to mount (screw) the gate locks into. It wasn't particularly easy to install the gate or the kit but now that they are installed, they both work great.
